Alam and his wingman, Flt.Off. Akhtar, took off shortly AFTER the first Indian attack against Sargodha on the morning of the 7 September 1965, and shortly after the clash between the Mystére flown by Sqn.Ldr. Devayya and two Starfighters, in which both the Indian, and one of the Pakistani fighers were shot down.
This is already a first discrepancy in Pakistani claims, as Fricker (and the "whole World", if you wish) said that Sqn.Ldr. Devayya was the first victim of Sqn.Ldr. M.M. Alam.
Regarding Alam's claims:
1.) He first claimed to have intercepted a formation of six Hunters and fired one Sidewinder against one of them. The missile hit the ground, and then, in Alam's own words: "The next thing I remember was that I was overshooting one of the Hunters and when I looked behind, the cockpit canopy was missing and there was no pilot in the aircraft. He had obviously pulled up and ejected and then I saw him coming down by parachute." Very nice, but this all happened at some 500 knots and flight level of some 45feets/15 meters: would be interessting to learn how Alam managed to see so many details under such circumstances?
Almost needles to say: Alam's victim, Sqn.Ldr. Onkar Nath Kacker, CO 27 Sqn IAF, flew back for over 150 kilometers as his engine stopped due to a booster pump failure. It is possible that his Hunter was damaged by the proxy-fusing Sidewinder, but Kacker certainly didn't ejected close to Sargodha and was not killed. So, Alam's claim is wrong: he couldn't see a Hunter with empty cockpit.
2.) Immediately afterwards, Alam lost the sight of these six Hunters, but he had plenty of fuel and started a pursuit. After some 60 miles, coming over the Chenab River, Akhtar called out five Hunters in - Alam's words: "...absolutely immaculate battle formation..." He turned behind Hunters and now comes the best part of the story:
"We were all turning very tightly - in excess of 5G or just about on the limits of the Sabre's very accurate A-4 radar ranging gunsight...And I think before we had completed more than about 270 degrees of the turn, at around 12 degrees per second, all four Hunters had been shot down. In each case, I got the pipper of my sight around the canopy of the Hunter for virtually a full deflection shot..."
Well, Alam explained later about him developing a technique of firing very short bursts, and that he flew Hunters previously himself (in England). However, the fact is, that Pakistanis later found only two supposed victims of Alam.
And not only this, then now it will get really bad for the PAF's credibility. Initially, the PAF had released the names of the five pilots shot down by Sqn. Ldr. M.M. Alam; as Sqn.Ldr. O.N. Kacker, Sqn.Ldr. A.B. Devayya, Sqn.Ldr. S.B. Bhagwat, Flt.Lt. U.B. Guha and Flg.Off. J.S. Brar. Some later Pak sources claim Flt.Lt. T.K. Chaudary as one of Alam's victims, but I don't know where did they got that name from. By the way, Chaudary/Chaudry is a very usuall name in India and in Pakistan.
Furthermore, none of Indian records (not claims) show that these names do coincide with their organisation of the attack against Sargodha. Namely: all these pilots DIDN'T flew aircraft which were part of only ONE or TWO attacks against Sargodha, flown early in the morning and intercepted by Alam, but SIX! And not only this: all these six Indian attacks against Sargodha happened between 06:00 in the morning and 15:00 in the afternoon! So, Alam could hit four Hunters in less than one minute, but those that fell to the ground did so in more than nine hours! And that is - sorry SOC - impossible.
For example: Devayya was from Strike No.1 (undertaken early in the morning), Kacker from 3rd Indian strike and Guha from 6th Indian strike (undertaken in the afternoon). Furthermore, these names do not correspond with the names from the 4th Indian strike, for which the PAF states that Alam shot down the four Hunters! The result: Alam most probably only got two Indian Hunters during the whole day: Fg. Off. Brar and Sqn. Ldr. Bhagwat. Both were killed as their planes crashed. The rest came away, that of Sqn.Ldr. O.N. Kacker crashed due to technical problems and all of the other of Alam's "victims" are still very much alive today.
Well, if someone asks me, both sides have many materials from that war, especially gun-kills of every single kill. If there are so many kills scored by Sqn.Ldr. Alam, and other Pakistani pilots, then the PAF should publish them, but it didn't. OK, gun-camera pics show some things, but certainly not all, like date, place etc. So, if so many Hunters crashed inside of Pakistan after they were shot down by Alam, then Pakistanis must be in possession of their wreckage. And that is not the case, because otherwise Pakistanis wouldn't name five Indian pilots which were shot down between 06:00 and 15:00h in the Sargodha area as victims of Sqn.Ldr. Alam, which supposedly shot them all down in less than half-an-hour.
As one can see, Indians have delivered their proofs, and showed that this small amount of Pakistani evidence for "four Hunters in less than one minute" shot down by Sqn.Ldr. M.M. Alam is worth nothing. I do not understand what should be wrong with all of that, or why not to belive it? After all, everybody in the West use to belive the side which is able to deliver more and better proofs for its case.
